It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (November 20): 11/20/17

The kids are off school this week for Thanksgiving. That means I get to sleep in a little and I don't have to pick them up from school.

Over the weekend we figured out what kind of gas fireplace we want to replace the current one — a vintage early 1960s thing that is neither safe nor efficient. We also ordered a couch and loveseat — the first nice living room furniture we will have owned in years. Our last couch be bought in 2001 and it lasted us until about 2012.

I'm keeping up with Nanowrimo. As of Sunday night, I have 32,500 words.

What I read:

Not the Killing Type by Lorna Barrett; personal collection (audio)

The Great Shelby Holmes Meets Her Match by Elizabeth Eulberg; personal collection

The Epic Fail of Arturo Zamora by Pablo Cartaya; library book

Macy McMillan and the Rainbow Goddess by Shari Green; library book

What I'm reading:

Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.; personal collection

Sweet Shadows by Tera Lynn CHilds; library book

Beyond the Bright Sea by Lauren Wolk; personal collection / audiobook

14 Hollow Road by Jenn Bishop; library book

Up Next:

Kitty Cornered: How Frannie and Five Other Incorrigible Cats Seized Control of Our House and Made It Their Home by Bob Tarte; library book

It's fun to get new furniture and to decorate a new home. Enjoy sleeping in! I liked to look of all your books.

The decorating process will take well into next year. We can only afford to do so much.

Your kids have the whole week off? I was ecstatic when they did the calendar and we got the Wednesday before Thanksgiving off instead of just Thursday and Friday. It sure made life easier when I had to travel for the holiday. I'm reading Sweet Shadows right now too.
